Motor Options?

Post by BTR »

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a rebuilt replacement 1-1/8 HP motor for a Mark 5 Model 500. I am seeing options for both Emerson & AO Smith rebuilt motors. Is one better than the other? The old motor I am replacing is an General Electric. Opinions?

Thanks!

Any one that works should be a good choice. A O Smith motors would be 'older'.
